Take note, most socialists are Communist Marxist socialists and this is their left wing. In terms of European left and right, not to be confused with United States left and right, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party is said to be the Right Wing, nationalist and the Communist, Bolshevik or Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party is said to be the Left Wing of Socialism, internationalist. You can listen to a Bolshevik socialist I interviewed explain this here http://files.meetup.com/1394602/NoHoPro2.wav There is growing rift in the ardent socialists and it has to do with history and the path toward socialism for the United States found in the Communist Manifesto.

Anton Drexler at a workers union meeting said, “I am a socialist like yourselves, and want manual workers to gain equality…” and with this, the Union members bought in to the populist rhetoric ignoring what direction this was going to take them. Former locksmith Anton Drexler and Karl Harrer founded the German Workers Party (DAF). Adolf Hitler joined The German Workers Party making a note of his similar ideology to gain power and with Hitler being a distinguished speaker who drew large crowds. Anton Drexler and Adolf Hitler went on to write the 25 points of the Program of the NSDAP – The National Socialist Workers’ Party from a Labour Union. They created the German Labor Front and on that day the Nazis seized the Free Trade Unions, they publicly announced a “united front of German workers” with Hitler as honorary patron. At the time, most were in economic depression and welcomed the newly found nationalism and wealth, a Populist Bandwagon was created. Then an “Aryan paragraph” was installed, and all Jews and any others were expelled as Citizens and were labeled dissident. The most notable organizations that had to follow this procedure were the unions. The vanguard program of The National Socialist Workers’ Party was “national interest before self interest” (anti individualism) and the same words spoken by Andrew Stern at a workers union meeting, former president of SEIU, close friend of distinguished speaker President Barack Obama and most frequent visitor to The White House. Andrew Stern, a socialist that wanted “workers to gain equality.” This is not the agrarian movement most socialists seek, this is historically the path toward fascism.
